Hao Yang's old house is not particularly spacious, Hu Mingchen and Hao Yang sleep in the west house at night, in order to let Hu Mingchen sleep well, Hao Yang gave his single bed to Hu Mingchen, and he used benches and door panels to build a simple bed.

Because Hao Yang had to build a simple bed, the mattress on the small bed was divided into one bed, so the small bed was harder to sleep on.

Hu Mingchen hadn't slept in such a hard bed for many years, so in the first half of the night, Hu Mingchen tossed and turned, feeling that it was not easy to sleep, until the second half of the night, he felt really sleepy, and Hu Mingchen fell asleep.

And Hao Yang may have come to his own home, and there is a natural sense of comfort, although his makeshift bed with a door panel is harder, but he can lie down and fall asleep.

The next day, Hu Mingchen didn't get up until dawn, he turned over and saw that Hao Yang didn't know when he got up, and there was no longer Hao Yang on the door bed.

Hu Mingchen lifted the quilt, got dressed and got up, and opened the door with a creak, Hao Shu got up from the stool sitting outside the house: "You're awake." ”

"Hao Shu, where is your brother, why haven't you seen others?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"My brother and my dad went to get fish, and they were supposed to be coming back, and my brother told me to wait for you to get up, and then pour you water and wash your face. Hao Shu changed her attitude towards Hu Mingchen yesterday and said kindly.

"Then thank you, by the way, Auntie, I didn't look at the big guy her. Hu Mingchen didn't see Hao Yang's mother, so he asked casually.

"My mom is grinding tofu in the back, you wait, I'll pour you hot water. After answering, Hao Shu went to get Hu Mingchen face wash.

When Hao Shu came back from hot water, Hu Mingchen washed his face, changed his shoes, and was about to go out to walk around the front and back of the house, when Hao Yang came back with his father.

"Hu Mingchen, you're up, why don't you sleep for a while, aren't you used to sleeping?" As soon as he entered the courtyard and saw Hu Mingchen, Hao Yang greeted him with a smile.

"There's nothing you don't get used to, I can't sleep and get up, I'm going to go out for a walk, I heard that you went to get fish?"

"Hehe, hard work pays off. Saying that, Hao Yang raised the bamboo basket in his hand, "Three, enough to eat at noon." ”

"It's winter now, if it's summer and autumn, the fish is easier to beat, Hao Yang said you want to eat wild river fish, let's try our luck, it's okay, hit three. Hao Yang's father pulled the tunic on his body and echoed Hao Yangdao.

"Uncle, that's what I said, this season, the morning is quite cold, you don't need to be so. Hao Yang, my uncle's body has just recovered from illness, how can you do this. Hu Mingchen looked at their wet trouser legs and said guiltily.

In fact, Hu Mingchen did not take the initiative to say that he wanted to eat wild river fish, but Hao Yang himself said that when Hu Mingchen arrived at his house, he wanted to use this wild river fish to entertain Hu Mingchen.

"It's okay, it's okay, if I don't go, he can't do it alone. Hao Yang's father said with a grin, and then shouted into the house: "the kid, the kid, come and take these three fish to the kitchen and stew tofu and fish soup for Hao Yang's classmates at noon." ”

Hearing the shout, Hao Yang and his mother walked out of the back room wearing an apron, and didn't say anything, took three wild fish from Hao Yang's hand and turned around, still not talking much.

"Hao Yang, this fish, you and your uncle went to the river to hunt?" asked Hu Mingchen as they changed into rain boots.

"No, it's just by the river, it's the fishing moratorium, and if you go to the river, you have to have a boat, but my family doesn't have it, it's fishing nets by the river. Hao Yang replied.

"It's a mistake for you to go fishing during the fishing moratorium. Hu Mingchen reminded that he didn't want to have a bad impact on Hao Yang because of eating a fish, the key was that he was still in college.

"It's okay, we're all like this here, as long as we don't go to the river to fish on a large scale, it's fine, even if there is something, it's me who takes it, and it has nothing to do with Hao Yang." Hao Yang's father stood up and said.

As a father, he is willing to take on any responsibility for his son.

At eleven o'clock at noon, Hao Yang's mother, with the assistance of Hao Shu, squatted in a pot of tofu fish soup with those three fish, considering that both sides could eat spicy, and the fish soup was sprinkled with some small peppers. This treatment not only does not rob the fish of its umami, but instead gives the fish meat and fish soup a special taste.

At noon, Hu Mingchen only ate one bowl of dinner, but he drank four bowls of fish soup, of course, those three fish, under the strong press of Hao Yang's father and son, Hu Mingchen ate almost one and a half.

At dinner last night, Hao Yang's father said that Hao Yang would take Hu Mingchen to the city to play today. Hu Mingchen did not object to this proposal, so after eating, the two went out.

"Do you know why my father asked me to take you to the county to play?"

"I can guess the general reason, so I didn't refuse. Hu Mingchen nodded and said.

"Can you guess?" Hao Yang felt a little surprised by Hu Mingchen's answer.

"Maybe I think I'll be bored when I stay at your house, I don't have TV to watch, I don't have the Internet to access, that's pretty much it, right?" Hu Mingchen didn't shy away from it, and said what he thought in his heart.

Since they are good friends, there is nothing to taboo and hide, and being open and honest is the attitude that should be towards friends.

"That's pretty much what it means, you can see the environment of my home, the yard is so big, the house is so narrow, there is not even a TV in the house, and you will not be interesting at all if you are left at home. My dad is also a face-saving man sometimes. Hao Yang said as he walked.

"Speaking of which, the conditions of my family used to be similar to yours, and even, for a while, my family was sent under the fence, and the house was washed down by a heavy rain. Because of the similar experiences, I can understand and guess what your dad thinks. Actually, in a way, that's what you think, right, so you don't have any objections. Hu Mingchen raised his left hand and put it on Hu Mingchen's shoulder and said.

"Hehe, so I also have an inferiority complex. Hao Yang smiled bitterly and said.

"What is there to be inferior, we can't choose fate, but we can change it, through our own efforts to change it. What was bad in the past will pass day by day. Hu Mingchen patted Hao Yang and encouraged him.

The two walked along the path, and when they reached the side of the road, they stopped the car and went to the city of Rowan.

The main reason is that Hao Yang's family doesn't even have a bicycle, if there is, the two of them will go on a ride, and they don't need to take a bicycle at all.

Rowan County is not very large, but it is quite densely populated. With a population of more than one million, more than 100,000 live in the county. If you look at the urban construction of the county, Rowan is okay inland, and the main roads in the center of the city look quite prosperous, and there are quite a lot of people on the streets. Of course, this may have something to do with the approaching Chinese New Year.

"Hu Mingchen, this is the CBD of our county, look, the best shops and shopping malls are around here, including banks, postal and other units are also mainly around. Standing on the edge of the turntable in the center of the city, Hao Yang pointed to the surroundings and introduced to Hu Mingchen, "The school where I study is not far from there, when I was in high school, we lived on campus, and after school, many people in the class would come around to play and consume, but ...... I'm probably the least in my class. When he said the last sentence, Hao Yang's tone was a little low.

It is conceivable why Hao Yang will come to visit the least often, just because he has no money in his hand, he basically needs money to come here, whether it is food, use, or play. In order not to spend money and not to be despised by his classmates, Hao Yang simply did not come.

Even if he sometimes has to come here to buy things, Hao Yang is also a person, and basically does not go with his classmates.

"Then let's take a good look at it today, there are a few good clothing stores over there, let's go and have a look." Hu Mingchen knew that Hao Yang's state of mind was very different from that time, otherwise he wouldn't jokingly say that this place was CBD, so he said in a half-joking tone.

"Clothing store, do you want to buy clothes?"

"Come to the street today, don't you want to buy some New Year's goods? I see that Hao Shu's clothes are a little old, go and choose two New Year's clothes for her, as well as your parents." Seeing that Hao Yang was about to speak, Hu Mingchen hurriedly raised his hand, "Don't be verbose, I'll pay the bill today." I can tell you, take whatever you want, otherwise you won't have this shop in this village. ”

“...... You really make me a little embarrassed!" Hao Yang was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said.

"Just when I borrow yours, and then you get rich, give it back to me, how about it? Let's go, go buy clothes first, and then go to the supermarket and the market later." I can only stay at your house for two or three days, and I'm going home for the New Year. Hu Mingchen shrugged his shoulders and said.

The two went to a women's clothing store first, planning to choose two clothes for Hao Shu, but when Hu Mingchen brought a down jacket and asked Hao Yang how the style was, Hao Yang was followed by a man and a woman.

"Hao Yang, oops, it's really you, it's rare, I didn't expect to meet you so coincidentally. The girl exclaimed after glancing at Hao Yang from the side.

Hearing someone call him, Hao Yang hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the girl, he was happy at first, and then when he saw the boy next to him, his face was a little gloomy.

"Hehe, Hao Yang, I haven't seen you for half a year, your whole person has changed a lot, we almost can't recognize it. The boy looked at Hao Yangdao with a smile.

Liu Juan...... Cai Xiaolong, it's you, long time no see. Hao Yang saw his acquaintance, but he didn't seem to be very excited and excited, but his expression was not so natural.
